We are still here just so busy with life that I never find time to post. Evan will be having his 7th or 8th surgery next week for his palate. Caden is still good for now but will be having more down the road. We see our team again in October. The other 2 kids are doing well, Hannah is finishing up preschool and Lincoln is starting to cruise around the room. I will post pictures and more updates later on this weekend.

Blogger puts the pictures in random order, takes too much time to fix. These are pictures of Lincoln's Birth and my baby shower was given about a month before his birth.

I was in early labor for 3 weeks and rather miserable. On the 12th I had a doctors appt and we scheduled an induction date for a week later. Around 6:30 PM I was starting to feel like it would be soon, I called Jason at work and asked him not to work to late. About 10 long minutes later I called him again and asked him to come home immediately to take me in labor was coming hard and fast. We made it to the hospital around 7:15 PM Lincoln was born at 9:09 pm. This was the shortest and fastest delivery of all 4 of my kids. But I was also recovered almost immediately after he was born.

What a busy few weeks of March it has been already! Rather than do indvidual posts I will put them all in one. We will go backward from St. Patrick's Day because that is the order blogger puts the pictures in and I don't want to mess with rearranging them. So...

On our wayhome from the Zoo we saw a fire off the side of the freeway. A lumber yard caught on fire

Train Ride at the Zoo

Family Time

We were able to get really cheap family passes to the Zoo for the next year. We will make many trips there I am sure. The kids enjoy going and there is a nice play area for them to play

We went on a Field Trip with friends to Mrs. Grossman's Sticker Factory. It was a beautiful day and the kids had a great time and got to play at the park

It rained one day and there was a beautiful rainbow- the kids and I enjoyed talking about God's Promise to Never Flood the Earth again. We read the story of Noah and talked about it.

Caden had the Chicken Pox and had to stay home from church 2 weeks in a row. He and I got to go outside and enjoy the sun

Hannah's 4th Birthday is this month, Jason and I took the kids to go see Disney on Ice for her birthday

Last month we took our first field trip and went up to Fairfield and went on a tour of the Jelly Belly Factory. It is a free tour and you learn the history of the Jelly Belly and some other facts. Plus, at each stop you get free Jelly Belly's. We had a great time, here are a few pictures from our outting.

About Me

I am married to Jason and we have been blessed with 3 beautiful children. Evan- 9, Hannah 3 & Caden 2. Life with Children has not always been easy but with every trial we have gone through The Lord has been our comfort and we have been able to rejoice in Him. Both boys were born with Bi Lateral cleft lip & palate, Evan has had 5 surgeries to date and Caden has had 2. Both will have at least one more surgery each, with Caden most likely needing 2. Hannah is all girl and extremely active. She keeps you on the go from morning til night minus a little nap each day. I am a stay at home mom and wouldn't change it for the world. I am looking forward to seeing what God has planned for our children's lives in the future. We plan on homeschooling Evan in the fall and seeing what the Lord has in store for us this year.
